Excerpt from Nubia and Abyssinia: Comprehending Their Civil History, Antiquities, Arts, Religion, Literature, and Natural History But no consideration associated with the history Of Ethiopia is more interesting than the fact that the Christian religion, received ahent fifteen hundred years ago, Continues to be professed by the great majority of the people. In regard to the mixture Of J ewish'rites with the institutions of the gospel, still observable among the 'abyssinians; I have sug. Gested some re ections which seem calculated to throw a new light on that obscure subject. Of the literature Of the same natiop, so far as the relics could be collected from-their chronicles and books Of devotion, a suitable account has been given connected in some degree with the brighter pros peets which may yet be entertained by the friends Of theological learning as arising from the well directed efforts Of certain benevolent associations in this country.
